Everyone felt the luck of the Irish at St. Mary, Star of the Sea, Catholic Church on March 16.

Church members and guests gathered in the fellowship hall for the annual St. Patrick’s Day Party. Members mingled before enjoying a buffet dinner of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and Irish soda bread.

After dinner, dancing followed with live music.
